Guardiola unsettles Barça board

Pep Guardiola is spending the Easter holidays in Barcelona. The former Barça coach attended a conference - with guest speaker Xavier Sala i Martín - in a hotel in the city centre, where he coincided with Joan Laporta. However, some at the club fear that the coach's visit was not just for pleasure and believe Guardiola has spoken to representatives at the club in order to offer them the chance to work alongside him at Bayern Munich.

Sources at the club say that there are two potential targets - Domènec Torrent and Carles Planchart, the people in charge of providing videos and reports on the team's opponents.

Guardiola knows the pair well, as he signed them up for the Catalan club. The two employees have just two months left on their contracts, while Tito Vilanova, Jordi Roura and Aureli Altimira have two years left. The other members of the coaching team will also be out of contract in June.

Manel Estiarte looks set to join Guardiola at the German club, as well as Lorenzo Buenaventura - who was fitness coach at Barcelona for a time under the former manager and decided to leave the club at the same time.

The club's current fitness coaches - Francesc Cos and Paco Seirulo - will also be free agents in June, as well as Emili Ricart, Juanjo Brau and Roger Gironés - who are physiotherapists. This may mean that Torrent and Planchart are not the only ones Guardiola is interested in, which will be sure to unsettle the club's directors.
